The Trump administration has released over 240,000 pages of FBI records related to the assassination of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., despite strong opposition from King's family.
The documents, previously sealed since 1977, detail the FBI's surveillance of King and the investigation into his murder. While some hoped the files would shed new light on the case, early analysis suggests there are few significant revelations. Critics, including King's family, argue the release could be used to tarnish King's legacy and accuse the administration of using the move to distract from demands for transparency regarding the Jeffrey Epstein files.
The release has reignited debates about government transparency, historical accountability, and the ongoing impact of surveillance on civil rights leaders.
